"A sick horse is as unfit to work as
is sick man, and animals that are
kept housed most of the time are easily
injured by exposure to storms. 1t is
not advisable to blanket horses in
stables except for little while when
brought in after working and when wet
either from sweat OF rain. The change
to II horse blanketed in the stable when
taken out in cold or stormy weather
makes the animal especially liable to
take cold. In barn the natural cover
ing of hair over q horse is sufficient.
Animals exposed to the storms and
changes Of weather incident to farm

CISTERNS FOR FARMS,
Directions for Building Them i'll a Safe and
Substantial Manner.


Substantial Manner.
The surface soil is removed to a
depth of eighteen inches to exclude
frost in winter and heat in the sum-
mer. The excavation is made in the
shape OF an egg with the upper-third
cut of. 1t should be eight to ten feet
deep, and seven to ten feet in diameter.
The deeper the cistern, the better and
cheaper it is. If soil is close ane COM
pact, the cement may be laid directly
upon it, and no brick-lining is required.
To do this, large fiat stone is bedded
in cement at the bottom, for the work
man to stand upon, and for rest for
the pump. The cement is made of
water-lime, one part, and clean, sharp
sand, three parts, mixed dry, first, and
wetted up in small quantities as Re
quired, and can be used before it sets
hard. The cement is laid about an inch
thick. When the bottom is covered, a
layer is put in around the wall about a
foot high. and. as it sets very quickly.
as soon as one strip is laid another
may be put on above it, until the
whole is completed. In digging. a
shoulder of foot in width is made on
the top of the firm sub-soil eighteen
inches, to rest the beams upon. This
is also covered with cement, and the
beams are laid on and the spaces
between them on the shoulder are
filled in with stone, or brick, and
cement, to the upper level, upon which
the floor rests. A strong floor Of four
inch plank, doubled, with the Joints
broken, is laid upon the beams and
covered with coat of cement, to eX-
clude surface water; and this floor is
then covered with earth and sodded
over, or platform is built over it to
stand upon. A manhole should be
made in the cover, large enough for n
person to go down when it is necessary
to clean out the cistern, and this is
brought up little above the platform,
and fitted with tight cover, kept
locked to avoid danger Of children fall
ing in.
A force pump should always be
chosen for the cistern, so that in case
of need hose may be attached, and
the water Carried where it may be
wanted-to distant trough, or to any
part of the J ard or stables.
When tie soil is sandy or loose
gravel, thu cistern should be lined with
hard sha; p bricks lengthwise. 50 as to
make wall four inches thick. The
floor 81 .uld be of cement and no bricks
except few in the center will be re-
quire6 The bricks should be thor
oughly wetted before they are used.
The cement should be spread all over
the lrface of the bricks, so as to COM
pletcly fill the spaces, and the outside
of t1e wall should be plastered Us it
goes up. Earth should be packed firmly
against the wall outside to give firm
backing to resist the pressure of the
water. This is an important point,
aid should not be forgotten. When
the desired height is reached, the bricks
are inclined gradually to form the
shoulder for the arch, and the wall is
then drawn in to form the cover, leav-
ing man-hole in the center. This
is covered with large flag-stone. Tho
inside Of the cistern is covered with
wash coat of clear cement. american

Vermont Militia i'm Camp.

The state militia went into camp in Ben
nington last Wednesday, with total of
seven hundred twenty-six officers and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS per cent OF the whole force.
The camp named Camp Seth Warner"
was on the grounds of the Soldiers Home.
These grounds contain nearly two hundred
acres of level meadow land. Two magnifi-
cent groves, one at each end of the encamp-
ment, picturesquely frame the busy scene.
Close by the parade-ground one OF the
highest fountains in the world throws jet
of mountain water about two hundred feet
skyward. Probably the camping-grounds
are the most convenient, beautlful ana
ample of any in Vermont. Fuller's Battery,
with sixty horses, was stationed at the eX-
IRENE northeast and the brigade head
quarters at the extreme western part OF the
grounds. About three hundred tents, eX-
elusive of the mess tents, were occupied
Music was furnished by the regimental
band of BrattlebOro, a fine band of twenty
six pieces. General w. i. Greenleaf Of
Winooski was in command. The routine
was taken up Thursday. A correspondent
says that Fridays battalion drill was prob
ably one of the most satisfactory in the
regiments history. The various movements
of the regiment were watched by large
numbers of towns-people, who manifested
their approval by frequent applause. The
dress parade was the first since the arrival
in camp, and General Greenleaf pronounced
it one of the best he had seen, the manual
of arms being especially commendable. The
camp was brilliantly lighted at night and
large audiences were in attendance upon
the band concert before the colonels head
quarters. Saturday was a pleasant and
a lively day in camp. Colonel Greenleaf and
other officers We're given dinner by Hon.
j. G. Mccullough at North Bennington. Sun

was accompanied by General Greenleaf and

o'clock which was attended by inmates OF
the home, the regiment and a large num-
